Strange Magic (2015)
4/10
Felt like a lazy production.
17 April 2016
I am not a fan of this movie. The characters are embarrassing heroes. They're too clumsy, vain and have extremely flawed personalities. They're just not likable. On this occasion the dark side creatures were far more endearing. And I could see things from their perspective.

Even when you get to the love is blind message it was hollow and meaningless. They bonded over hatred and negativity. The whole thing felt super forced as they tried too hard to prove love is blind.

Also what is with all the songs. Even musicals don't break out into song as much. There was barely any unique dialogue instead they stole their words from popular music. It was quite distracting and pretty lazy on their part.

The one thing I was impressed with was the detail that had gone into the animation. All the characters and scenes were marvelous excluding the fairies. They just looked like middle age women with bad haircuts.

I see where they were going with this but they lost me before it really began.
